[edit] Green Lantern: Power of Ion

just another storyarc - no real world cultural significance or even significance within the genre (such as demonstrated by comics such as Watchmen, the dark knight returns, the authority) - just a bog story - it happened, I own it but it's not significant enought for it's own article.

• Keep:Published comicbook by DC Comics, thus it the fact that you own also suggests that it is notable and is sold woldwide. Englishrose 09:42, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

If it was an plot summary of say Sonic Distruptors (one of the first series to be cancelled before conclusion) or maybe vigilante 50 (the first on-screen suicide of a superhero) or civil war (multiple real world sources discussing it's impact) then you'd have a point. This is just another arc in an ongoing (now into it's 4th volume) comic series. There is nothing here that had any impact in the real world or was considered to push the genre. Even within the comics community, it is not seen as being a notable series. --Fredrick day 12:47, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Comment yes. It isn't automatically notable because Green Lantern is. If it can be demonstrated that this had a major, important role that warrants a more extensive discussion (which would have plenty of sources) then I'd vote for keep. As it stands there is nothing but plot (a copyright violation) and has no sources. (Emperor 11:52, 18 July 2007 (UTC))

• Delete. Notability is not inherited, and existence does not mean notability. Fails WP:BK; I see no instances of non-trivial coverage in reliable sources among the 314 non-duplicate GHits for this comic's title; they're all blogs, forums, and retailers [1]. Also fails WP:FICT and WP:NOT in that it consists solely of plot summary and other in-universe content. cab 11:12, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - per nom and per WP:PLOT. Otto4711 12:32, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Fails the criteria for notability per WP:BK and there it is. Coverage in multiple non-trivial sources is the fundamental guideline for questions of notability, and the article neither cites nor implies even one secondary source. The book exists and has been sold, fine. So have hundreds of thousands of other books that reach a limited audience and receive no critical attention (much less critical praise). A brief synopsis of the plot (and here I mean 1-3 sentences) can be added to the article on Ion and/or Kyle Rayner. -Markeer 12:45, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
